“There are a few SNSD members that can sing and dance well, but the
rest of the members have no special appeals. The SNSD girls have all
undergone plastic surgery, but we are natural beauties and their bodies
can’t even compare to ours.”

See - such a sexyful, hot! democrazy
sweetly swaying just out of reach for old school Maoists and new school
auto dicts must be driving the old Collectivists out of their collective minds.
Flaunting those sexed up goodies like a honking economy, free speech,
transparent and periodic elections - not to mention the uncommunist
penchant for an independent judiciary and civie control of the military.

Taiwan should be the central guiding focus of defense planning in the
Asia-Pacific region. In assessing JOAC and Air-Sea Battle-related
requirements, the greatest emphasis should be placed on contingency planning
for a PLA amphibious invasion of Taiwan with minimal warning.

Based on
a premature and "tarded assumption that cross-Strait trade and
investment will inevitably lead toward Taiwan’s democratic submission to
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) authoritarian rule, prominent analysts have asserted that the focus of Great Satan"s defense planning should shift toward the South China Sea and defense of the global commons.

What are Taiwan’s potential contributions? For starters, Taiwan is the principle security partner
in the region that is willing and able to develop the kind of force
needed for networked, integrated deep interdiction operations in an
A2/AD environment. Taiwan’s knowledge of single points of failure in the
PLA’s air and missile defense system could someday save many lives.

Maintaining Taiwan’s capacity to interdict single points of failure in
the PLA’s A2/AD system could relieve the United States of part of its
heavy operational burden and reduce risks of escalation. For Taiwan,
sufficient self defense requires an ability to interdict and neutralize
critical nodes in the PLA Second Artillery and other increasingly
integrated operational systems opposite Taiwan.

Taiwan is uniquely positioned to contribute to regional situational
awareness of the air, space, sea and cyber domains. Peacetime air
surveillance data can be fused with other sources of information to
better understand PLA Air Force
tactics and doctrine. Long range UHF early warning radar data could
fill a gap in regional space surveillance. The Taiwanese Navy has a firm
grasp of the unique undersea geography and hydrological environment of
the Western Pacific Ocean.

In the cyber domain, the Defense
Department may tap the expertise on Taiwan, the earliest and most
intense target of Chinese computer network operations. Taiwan’s
geographic position and willingness to contribute to a regional common
operational picture, including maritime domain awareness, air
surveillance, and space surveillance and tracking, could be of
significant value for both disaster response and military purposes.

And then there’s defense industrial cooperation. The Defense Department
could also consider expanding cooperative R&D with Taiwan’s
Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Chungshan Institute of
Science and Technology (CSIST), and/or private industry. Taiwan is a
world leader in technology innovation, particularly in applied
information and communications technology, which should be leveraged for
mutual benefit.

Taiwan’s requirement for diesel electric submarines has been validated
for island defense, and could play a critical role in interdicting
amphibious ships transiting from mainland China in waters northwest and
southwest of Taiwan, counter-blockade operations, and surveillance.
U - Boats are a credible, survivable deterrent.

Defense Department and its Taiwanese counterparts should consider the
formation of an innovative capabilities working group that could also
incorporate representatives from think tanks and both countries’ defense
industries. Possible focus areas might include cruise missile defense,
anti-submarine warfare (ASW), multi-domain awareness, and Taiwan’s
central role in Great Satan"s rebalancing toward Asia.

The fact is that no free and open society understands China as well as
Taiwan. Unfortunately, few Great Satan military officers conduct in-country
training in Taiwan, and there are no known students attending Taiwan’s
National Defense University (NDU)
